          E     A                E 
I want to drink from your cup of sorrow 
          B7                 E 
I want to bathe in your holy blood 
          E              A          E 
I want to sleep with the promise of tomorrow 
         B7               E 
I know tomorrow may never come 
 
same chord progression throughout 
 
I send a prayer out across the ocean 
To a man that's forced out of his home 
I send a prayer out across the ocean 
So that he may not suffer there alone 
 
I want to drink from your cup of sorrow 
I want to bathe in your holy blood 
I want to sleep with the promise of tomorrow 
I know tomorrow may never come 
 
I want to sit at your table of wisdom 
So that not one crumb shall go to waste 
For if we keep down this pathway to destruction 
Oh will our children will suffer for our haste 
 
I want to drink from your cup of sorrow 
I want to bathe in your holy blood 
I want to sleep with the promise of tomorrow 
I know tomorrow may never come x3
